Dear Sir,
I am MR NELSON PETER a Banker in one of the leading Commercial Banks
here in Nigeria. I contacted you based on a mutual business transaction
that I would want us to handle in confidence and hope, you
can understand the need for us to do this and for you to
stand in for it.
One Mr.Morgan Hanson and his wife. Died in a ghastly motor
accident whileon a business trip on the 24th of August
2002.The known couples had no children and was about 63years
old before their death.
He never identified with anybody as his relative and
investigation made could not trace any relative to the late couple.
Before his death,
he has the sum of $12,755,889.00 USD made from contracts he
executed with Oil Companies here in Nigeria and the
proceeds are with our Commercial Bank.
Few weeks ago, the Bank tried requesting that the next of
KIN to the deceased should come up to claim his fund deposited with
our Bank. I am the Manager in charge of unclaimed funds.Hence my
contacting you is to stand in as the next of Kin. After much
effort made to locate any of their relation failed, I
decided to contact you as to have you stand in as the next
of KIN to claim the fund so that the bank will not declare
the account dormant,freeze or confiscate the amount as they
stated in the letter sent to my Department.
If you can stand in, I assure you that this is risk free as
I will advise you on what to do to have this fund moved to your
account and we can agree on terms of sharing. All you have to do is to
consent to this by giving me the go ahead to have you
presented to the Bank as the next of kin through a lawyer. I
will tell you how to get a lawyer but it has to be
confidential who will apply and present you as the next of
KIN.
AS soon as we make application, obtain the necessary
approval, the money will be paid through here or any of the
banks payment centre overseas.
This will take us about 10 working days to conclude.
Depending on how you respond to our correspondence If you
are willing to stand in as the next of Kin,send to me your
FULL NAMES,TELEPHONE NUMBERS for us to discuss and to
brief you on the procedure that has to be taken to have
this transaction concluded within a short period of time.
NOTE: that we will have to reach an agreement on the
shearing of the fund as you have to agree to give me my own
share as soon as you receive the money to your account.
I look forward hearing from you.
MR NELSON PETER.
